One of my favorite shows. I was sort of unsure of the new direction (I have not read the comics and prefer the “on their own” storyline – I really dislike when shows bring in a plethora of new characters and create normality in a post apocalyptic world – the same happened with Falling Skies) but liked it a lot. We will see how it goes though.

Can we add Iggy to that white rappers who fell off list yet? Or was she never really on?

Walking Dead gave a brother chills yo. The wait was awful for a hardcore fan like myself. I read the comics too, so I can tell you TRA, they’ve branched off pretty hard already, but not too much, and if they’re still keeping the major events, you won’t be disappointed at all.

Thank you for the info. So does that “normal” town I keep seeing in previews (since last season) exist in the comics? I do not know… I have always been into post-apocalyptic movies, books, and television shows… but what I enjoy most about them is the “last people on earth” premise. I like the small group thing (28 Days Later, Zombieland, I Am Legend, The Book of Eli, Night of the Comet, The Road, The Crazies, Falling Skies, Dawn of the Dead – heck, even Shaun of the Dead, etc., etc., etc.). Once they start to bring in normalcy… I lose interest.

The one thing I applaud The Walking Dead with is that production is actually rather quick (hear me out). With the show, I can remember exactly what happened during the previous season (and final episode) without having to go back and watch it again. Not true with 95% of other shows these days. They start off the new seasons after so long that I forget storylines, plot development, characters… it is what I really dislike about modern shows. There is so much production involved that they are shot like a movie – and that takes time – too much time. So with The Walking Dead, I have not felt the wait was outrageous, it was the perfect wait (cannot say the same for a lot of my other favorite shows – some take so long they actually lose you as a viewer).

Regarding Iggy – that is part of the reason her rap career has not taken off in my opinion. She is a successful model signed to a top agency (Wilhelmina). Thus, she really is not going after that rap money because she does not need to. She is not starving like these other rappers who have no other option (it is either make it in music or be broke). Rap is not the only thing that can keep money in her bank account. Modeling is a sure paycheck – and it pays very well. The hunger to rap (again, only IMO) is not there for her like it is for other artists stuck in the ghetto with rhyming as their only way out. At first, I really disliked her, but she is the one I would choose to listen to over all the other new female emcees actually. Chasing after money either makes you successful, or it distorts things and you begin making decisions you should not, for it. She does not have that problem to deal with.

Yeah, I figured they’d do that with her. I think that was always her lane to begin with. She got signed off her visual, and her willingness to loop a dubstep-sounding sample of the word “Pussy” over and over again. I wasn’t expecting much else.

@TRA.

Heh. The town. Trust me on this, big bro. That town isn’t what you’re thinking. It’s gonna get good.

That is actually the main reason I can’t get jiggy with Iggy. She is pretty much guaranteed to rap about girly things, because she is a girl, but with others it always felt like they were leavened with joints that talked about hustling, or introspection, or at least there would be the battle rhymes and punchlines. Ms. Azalea’s experiences, while no doubt interesting to many, won’t have much impact outside of women who like to talk about the heels they just bought. Plenty of them, I’m sure, but I don’t think enough to sustain a rap career. I’m glad she has other income or she’d starve. Meanwhile, I’m just gonna stick with Rapsody and RA for the female perspective (and keep praying Eve’s comeback is actually worth listening to).

BTW, the follow/comment system is ill. It would have taken us 12 hours to have this convo before.

I really shitted on the last season of The Walking Dead because of the pacing and stupid decisions of the group but the season opener was great. They sped things up, the entire group seems smarter, still hate Lori and that laughable pregnant belly, only dumb thing that happen was bringing Herschel along. I have high expectations for this season.

The comics are good as hell,but the series is pretty good too. It deviated pretty hard in some aspects like missing some key characters, but like Smarter said, as long as they keep major events, I ain’t mad.

Sheesh she got some thick ass thighs/hips on her & a nice juicy looking donk to go with a pretty cute face! Definitely got me looking forward to the nightcap later on though I still think it will be hard to top the last couple nights!
